Sheikh Khalifa Bin Jassem Al Thani, Chairman of Qatari Chamber, has invited companies, specialized in the transport sector and wishing to join the TIR system, to submit their papers to the Qatari Chamber, and wait for approval to join the list of approved companies that use this system in their export and import operations. He noted that "the Qatari Chamber requires from any company who wishes to use this system to have an experience in international road transport not less than three years," and reemphasized the status of the Qatari Chamber as the “Guarantor of Custom Duties."
Sheikh Khalifa reminded that it has only been a year ago since the Qatari Chamber joined the World Road Transport Organization, and got nominated by the General Authority of Customs to become the Guarantor and Founder of the National Version of the TIR system in the State of Qatar. He added that "The Chamber will select accordingly the companies that meet TIR system’s terms of use.”
He concluded on the following remark "The implementation of TIR system comes within the framework of trade facilitation, transport and shipping costs reduction between traders, and transport of goods facilitation, as TIR system is a globally accepted international transport and guaranteed system."
